Lost two Nevilles AND Dr. John. Condolences to the brothers and New Orleans. Wish I'd seen them, they were wonderful!

[@ericnielsen7767]

I know this sucks!I met Charles and Cyrille before and they are both great guys,wish I met Poppa funk

[@dewhittjames]

They were wonderful. Excellent music and excellent show. I feel lucky to have had the chance to catch them live in Vagas. Great show!

[@coryjackson6944]

Yes.. We lost giants and true New Orleans legends 😢

[@paulwilliamson9958]

I know for a fact that when you are in a room with these guys and they are laying it down, you can not keep still, the rhythm's are so contagious. They can make a dead man dance. 🤡

[@evanbenjamin4578]

Let's Roll Neville Brothers ! ❤️

[@ddchapin3119]

very nice. Please note - this is: Hey Pocky Way > I Walk on Guilded Splinters, in case nobody else pointed this out!

[@losblancos5089]

Willie Green drops a stick in the intro and doesn't miss a beat! My favorite era of the band, and this set is absolute FIRE.

[@drlemmy4551]

Yes at 0:50 .

[@JTS578]

He plays so loose, it's in his motion, his feel, and the loose grip on the sticks. No tension in his playing. Superb!

[@Poppafunkband]

I was just about to ask about the drummer - Love this Dude!

[@clevelandmortician3887]

[@TheBogueFalaya]

Mean Willie Green on drums. Straight killin' it.

[@daviddawson1718]

He good, but he ain't no Zig.

[@menachembenegon7264]

​@daviddawson1718 Not sure if you are musician or not, but if you're not, then let me clue you in. *It's NOT a "contest."* Will was never meant to be Zig and Zig will never be Will. Amd neither of them are Johnny Vidacovich, Gerald French, Bob French, Herlin Riley, James Black, Jason Marsalis, Ed Blackwell, et al. Everyone is an individual and has their own unique, individual voice. There is only one Zigaboo. There is only one Johnny V. There was never meant to be more. And if you *are* a musician, you should know this! No need to slag someone off for not being someone else. I am sure there are some people we could measure you against and you would be found wanting. But to quote Keith Moon, "I'm the *best* 'Keith Moon' style drummer I know!"

[@devonmoors]

Outta New Orleans Earl Palmer was the drumming man 50/60 ties

[@anniebazoon900]

The happiest time in my life was weekend concerts by the Nevilles at Tips and on The President. "Live Life Funky!"

Greatest song of all times!!!!

I wish they would reopen the Municipal Auditorium. Great music venue.

[@unboughtunbossed1841]

mean willie green is my uncle...the heart and soul of the Nevilles. love it..

[@spankdaplank7774]

And he's my uncle too, at least in spirit. My all time favorite drummer.

[@pearlybaker2524]

I love Mean Willie - the Nevilles used to play all the time at Rockefellers in Houston and it was kinda pricey and we were in college so we would roll the biggest fattest joint of the best bud and have the doorman summon Willie and he always let us in. Didn't hurt that my friend and I were cute, but I think the green was the ticket! :)

[@mbass718]

Yeah Mean Willie is one of the most badass Nola drummers ever! He's been playing with The New Orleans suspects for awhile now.. check them out if you're not familiar! I feel lucky that I caught the Neville Bros with him years ago here in NY at a free show they did..as well as at Jazzfest closing out the festival as they always did.. about 15-20 years ago! As much as I love Mean Willie though..imho.. there's no drummers that touch Zigaboo Modeliste when it comes to the ultimate Nola Funk drummer. What he did with Art, George and Leo in The Meters.. revolutionized all Funk that came after them! Thank the Lord that Art Neville had the foresight to form The Meters! There's just no Nola band more integral and important than The Meters..at least in my humble opinion ✌️🎶🎵 I'm still struggling with Art passing away after seeing him so many times over the years between the Funky Meters and Neville Bros. He truly deserves a monument in Nola for all he did in music and the immense influence he had on every keys player/singer and song writer/arranger! Poppa Funk will live forever in the hearts and minds of all who loves his music and cherished seeing him as much as possible. RIP Poppa Funk 🙏💔😢💙🎶🎵🎹🎙️✌️

[@organizednoise9614]

He might be a great drummer, how ever I’m not a fan of how he played this song… it’s a lil messy and all over the place and kinda takes away from the groove of the song at times… there are times when’s he in there, but then there times when it seems like his ADHD kicks in lol

[@alsonmartin5533]

CLASSIC NOLA FUNK. Happy Mardi Gras!!

[@pw4934]

Already planned my own "compost' burial in own yard, with a tree planted atop. Only celebration desired is a @2nd Line (thru my now-rare-to-find 1/4 acre green space) ...with a list of tunes that includes many early 'true' R&Bs, John Prine, and Several NEVILLE Brothers tunes. Never can get enough of them; All and Any of them. Funk On !!

[@xgtmg]

I remember when they had the vocal range to sing this the old way. Hey Hey Hey Hey, Hey Pocky Way. Now they skip the first two heys. Too bad they got old and constipated.
